Definitions
- the subject matter disclosed herein relates to a machine and a machining method and, more particularly, to a machine for machining or grinding gear teeth and to a gear teeth grinding method.
- Gears are used in various industrial and technological applications to permit power transmission from one rotating or translating element to another.
- Each gear generally includes an array of gear teeth that mesh with the gear teeth of another gear so that the rotation or translation of the first gear can be transmitted to the second.
- the shapes of the gear teeth can be varied with some gear teeth being linearly shaped, some being helically shaped and others being provided as double-helical or herringbone shaped, and still others being provided as arcuate shaped (or C-Gear) gear teeth.
- Gears having gear teeth that are double helically (or herringbone) shaped include a side-to-side (not face to face) combination of two helical gears of opposite hands and, from a top-wise viewpoint, the helical grooves form a V formation with an apex in the middle. Whereas helical gears tend to produce axial loading, a side-thrust of one half of each gear is balanced by that of the other half. This means that gears having double helical or herringbone shaped gear teeth can be used in torque gearboxes without requiring a substantial thrust bearing. Gears having arcuate shaped teeth may also have self-aligning characteristics, which eliminate axial loads with the added benefit of reducing gear tooth end loading due to their inherent ability to adapt to axis misalignment.
- a machine for machining a workpiece having a central longitudinal axis includes a chuck or fixture on which the workpiece is disposable, a grinding spindle to remove material from the workpiece, the grinding spindle having a central longitudinal axis about which the grinding spindle rotates and being disposed with the central longitudinal axes intersecting one another so as to create a continuous gear tooth on the workpiece and an electrochemical grinding (ECG) element configured to execute ECG processing on the grinding spindle and the workpiece to soften the workpiece as the gear tooth is being created by the grinding spindle.
- ECG electrochemical grinding
- a gear including at least one of apex gap-less double-helical shaped teeth, apex gap-less herringbone shaped teeth and c- shaped teeth is provided and is machined by a process.
- the process includes disposing a workpiece having a central longitudinal axis on a chuck, disposing a grinding spindle having a central longitudinal axis such that the the central longitudinal axes of the workpiece and the grinding spindle intersect, executing ECG processing on the grinding spindle and the workpiece and using the grinding spindle to remove material from the workpiece.
- a method of machining a gear includes disposing a workpiece having a central longitudinal axis on a chuck, disposing a grinding spindle having a central longitudinal axis about which the grinding spindle rotates such that the central longitudinal axes of the workpiece and the grinding spindle intersect, executing ECG processing on the grinding spindle and the workpiece to soften an area of the workpiece and using the grinding spindle to remove material from the area of the workpiece to create a continuous gear tooth.
- FIG. 1 is a circumferential view of a double helical gear with an apex gap
- FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a machine for machining a gear in accordance with embodiments
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a machine for machining a gear in accordance with embodiments
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of a component for machining a gear in accordance with embodiments
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged perspective view of a component for machining a gear in accordance with alternative embodiments
- FIG. 6 is a circumferential view of an apex gap-less double helical gear (or an apex gap-less or herringbone gear) in accordance with embodiments;
- FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the apex gap-less double helical gear of FIG. 6;
- FIG. 8 is an enlarged version of a portion of FIG. 6;
- FIG. 9 is a circumferential view of an apex gap-less c-shaped gear in accordance with embodiments.
- FIG. 10 is a flow diagram illustrating a method of machining gear teeth.
- gear size reductions can be achieved by eliminating extraneous gear features, such as apex regions in a double helical (or herringbone) gear. Normally, such extraneous gear features are forced into use by manufacturing limitations.
- a conventional double helical gear 1 is provided.
- the conventional double helical gear 1 includes a first side 2 having a helical gear pattern of a first hand, a second side 3 having a helical gear pattern of a second hand opposite the first hand and an apex gap 4 defined axially between the first and second sides.
- the double helical gear 1 has a relatively high gear contact ratio owing to the presence of the helical gear patterns of the first and second sides 2 and 3.
- a gear mesh of the double helical gear exhibits increased strength and reduced noise signature as compared to that of a straight spur gear.
- the apex gap 4 is formed as a result of processes used to shape and precision grind the gear flanks and roots of the helical gear teeth.
- the apex gap 4 may add a considerable weight and size penalty to an overall transmission system in which the double helical gear 1 resides.
- a gear grinding machine is provided and incorporates the use of a high speed grinding spindle with its center axis intersecting a center axis of the gear.
- Electrochemical grinding (ECG) and super abrasives, such as cubic boron nitride (CBN), may be utilized in a creep feed, deep cut, grinding process allowing for almost any conceivable gear flank design.
- the gear grinding machine produces hyper smooth ground surfaces of less than 1 micro inch Ra, burr free edges, with low heat generation and has the ability to grind exotic high hardness conductive materials.
- ECG allows for a very small grinding wheel with extremely low tool wear.
- a machine 10 is provided for machining a workpiece 11.
- the workpiece 11 may have a substantially cylindrical initial shape with a first central longitudinal axis 110.
- the machine 10 includes a chuck or fixture 20 on which the workpiece 11 is disposable, and a grinding spindle 30.
- the grinding spindle 30 is configured to remove material from the workpiece 11 and has an elongate shape with a second central longitudinal axis 300.
- the grinding spindle 30 is disposable relative to the chuck 20 and the workpiece 11 such that the first and second central longitudinal axes 110 and 300 may or may not intersect one another.
- the machine 10 further includes an electrochemical grinding (ECG) element 40, which is configured to execute ECG processing on the grinding spindle 30 and the workpiece 11.
- ECG electrochemical grinding
- the grinding spindle 30 may include a wheel 31, a spindle body 32 and an insulator 33.
- the wheel 31 is disposed to be rotatable about the second central longitudinal axis 300 of the grinding spindle 30 and includes a main wheel portion 310, which extends axially outwardly from an end of the spindle body 32, and a tip 311 defined at a distal end 312 of the main wheel portion 310.
- Abrasive 34 may be attached to the tip 311.
- the spindle body 32 is disposed to drive rotation of the wheel 31 about the central longitudinal axis 300 of the grinding spindle 30 and the insulator 33 is disposed to electrically insulate the wheel 31 from the spindle body 32.
- the abrasive 34 may include a super abrasive, such as cubic boron nitride (CBN), diamond, etc.
- the tip 311 may be pencil-shaped or substantially conical and may have an involute profile 313. That is, an outer surface of the tip 311 may curve inwardly from an edge of the main wheel portion 310 with a radius of curvature that decreases with increasing axial distance from the edge of the main wheel portion 310. At the axial end of the tip 311, the radius of curvature may flip direction such that the end-most portion of the tip 311 has a blunt, rounded surface.
- the ECG element 40 includes a first electrical lead 41, a second electrical lead 42 and a dispenser 43.
- the first electrical lead 41 is configured to positively charge the workpiece (anode) 11
- the second electrical lead 42 is configured to negatively charge the grinding spindle (cathode) 30
- the dispenser 43 is configured to dispense electrolytic fluid 430 toward the workpiece 11.
- the opposite electrical charging of the workpiece 11 and the grinding spindle 30 in combination with the dispensation of the electrolytic fluid 430 toward the workpiece 11 causes a material of the workpiece 11 to soften by a substantial degree.
- This softening permits the grinding spindle 30 to remove material from the workpiece 11 in various forms or configurations. In some cases, the softening facilitates removal of material from the workpiece 11 by the grinding spindle to a desired depth in only a single pass and more rapidly than could be done without the softening.
- the machine 10 further includes a machine body 50 and a controller 51.
- the machine body 50 may be provided, for example, as one or more support structures 500 and robotic arms 501 that are coupled to the chuck 10, the grinding spindle 30 and the ECG element 40 to position the various elements with respect to one another for grinding internal or external gears.
- the controller 51 may be provided as a computer numerical control (CNC) element. Where the controller 51 is provided as the CNC element, the machine body 50 is formed to define four axes (e.g., rotational axis B and spatial axes X, Y, Z, as shown in FIG. 3) and is capable of performing multi-axis synchronous motion.
- CNC computer numerical control
- the axes may include the rotary axis B for indexing the workpiece 11, the vertical axis Y running parallel to the first central longitudinal axis 110 of the workpiece 11 (i.e., a cutter path), the horizontal axis X for centrality adjustments between the wheel 31 of the grinding spindle 30 and the workpiece 11 and the fore and aft axis Z to control a cutting depth of the grinding spindle 30.
- the ECG element 40 may be integral the machine body 50 and the controller 51.
- the machine 10 can be employed to machine a gear with outwardly facing gear teeth (see FIGS. 3 and 4) or inwardly facing gear teeth (see FIG. 5).
- the robotic arms 501 may include a hook structure 502.
- the hook structure 502 extends forwardly along the fore and aft axis Z (see FIG. 3) from the robotic arm 501, downwardly along the vertical axis Y (see FIG. 3) and then reversely along the fore and aft axis Z.
- the grinding spindle 30 is disposed at the distal end of the hook structure 502.
- the workpiece 11 may be ground or cut by the grinding spindle 30 in various forms and configurations.
- the grinding spindle 30 may provide the workpiece 11 with gear teeth in one or more of an apex gap-less double-helical shape (or an apex gap-less herringbone shape) and a c-shape.
- FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 An example of a gear 60 that can be formed by the machine 10 to have gear teeth in an apex gap-less double-helical shaped formation is shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8.
- the gear 60 includes a body 61 defining a central longitudinal axis that would be aligned with the second central longitudinal axis 300, first and second opposite axial faces 62, 63 and a circumferential face 64.
- the circumferential face 64 is formed by the machine 10 and includes a first annular array 65 of helical gear teeth 651 and helical gear lands 652 of a first hand and a second annular array 66 of helical gear teeth 661 and helical gear lands 662 of a second hand, which is oppositely oriented with respect to the first hand.
- the first and second annular arrays 65 and 66 converge such that each helical gear tooth 651 abuts a corresponding helical gear tooth 661 and each helical gear land 652 abuts a corresponding helical gear land 662.
- each helical gear tooth 651 with the corresponding helical gear tooth 661 and of each helical gear land 652 with the corresponding helical gear land 662 may be achieved with little to no apex region defined between the first and second annular arrays 65 and 66 and without an interruption in the respective shapes of the helical gear teeth 651, 661 or the helical gear lands 652, 662 in the region of the abutment (see FIGS. 6 and 8).
- a shape of the helical gear teeth 651, 661 may be reflective of the tip 311 of the grinding spindle 30 (see FIG. 7).
- the gear 60 is illustrated in FIGS.
- the region of the abutment may be offset from an axial center of the gear 60 and the abutment itself may be staggered relative to the axial center of the gear 60.
- the gear 70 has gear teeth in an apex gap-less c-shaped formation.
- the gear 70 includes a body 71 defining a central longitudinal axis that would be aligned with the second central longitudinal axis 300, first and second opposite axial faces 72, 73 and a circumferential face 74.
- the circumferential face 74 is formed by the machine 10 and includes an annular array 75 of c-shaped gear teeth 751 and c-shaped gear lands 752.
- Each c-shaped gear tooth 751 has an arcuate face with nearly constant involute transverse profiles corresponding to the shape of the tip 311 of the grinding spindle.
- this configuration would be expected to provide a nearly constant pressure angle across the length of the c-shaped gear tooth 751.
- the gear 70 would possess a self-alignment characteristic but with the added benefit of reducing gear tooth end loading due to their inherent ability to adapt to multiple axis misalignment.
- a method of machining gear teeth such as the gear teeth described above is provided.
- the method first includes a rough grinding of the gear teeth from a solid, such as a workpiece, using the ECG pencil grinding method described above (operation 100). Once the rough grinding is fully or partially completed, the method further includes a carburization and hardening of the workpiece (operation 101) and a finishing grind of the gear teeth using the ECG pencil grind method described above (operation 102).
- the ECG grinding method of operations 100 and 102 need not be limited to the ECG pencil grinding method and can be replaced by an ECG grinding method designed to form any tooth shape (e.g., a tooth shape that is reflective of the tip 311 of the grinding spindle 30 having an involute profile 313).
- gearboxes for helicopters and other weight limited applications may be designed with higher power densities. This is due to the fact that every pound of weight that is removed from a transmission design as a result of using the machine 10 to fashion gears with apex-less configurations translates into better performance characteristics.
